Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Toast the Coconut: In a skillet over medium-low heat, add shredded coconut and toast for about 3–5 minutes, stirring constantly. Once toasted, remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
  2. Prepare the Pineapple: Cut off the top and bottom of a ripe pineapple, slice off the outer skin, and cut into bite-sized cubes. Place into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Slice the Kiwis: Take two ripe kiwis, slice them in half, and scoop out the flesh. Cut into small pieces and add to the bowl with pineapple.
  4. Prepare Fresh Mint: Gather a handful of mint leaves, roll together, and slice thinly. Add to the fruit mixture.
  5. Make the Dressing: Zest two limes, then juice them. Whisk lime juice with honey until smooth.
  6. Combine Ingredients: Pour the dressing over the fruit in the large bowl. Toss gently to coat without mashing the fruit.
  7. Chill Before Serving: Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
  8. Serve with Coconut: Remove from fridge, toss gently, and sprinkle toasted coconut on top before serving.
